   Sitting in the theatre with my little sister waiting for HP7 to start. It’s her birthday. We’re both very excited.

   Leah, what did you think of HP7? And what did you think about the Harry/Hermione dance scene? I thought it was kind of confusing and implied a bunch of stuff that’s not true.

   Not that you asked me, but when the dance scene started, I thought I had found my favorite moment in the whole series. But I didn’t think it was a romance at all (while it was going on). I thought for thirty seconds I was seeing one of the greatest Platonic love moments in film history.

   But then, instead of doing the sensible thing and fading out of that scene with the music playing, they contrived that awkward moment at the end to make it look like an aborted romance instead of the lovely brother/sister dance in the middle of all that darkness/ anxiety. I’ll watch it again on DVD and see if the awkwardness washes away, but for now it was like having the rug jerked out from under me.

   I thought the dance scene did portray the brother/ sister relationship between Hermione and Harry. I also thought it left an awkward feeling at the end but felt it was intentional with purpose. To me it felt like Harry was doing everything he could to cheer and comfort his friend but in the end he realized nothing but Won Won could fill the void. Great movie. I did close my eyes during the snake scenes.

   On one hand I liked the dance scene and got all of the brother/sister platonic love stuff. And thought it completely worked but… I think I brought all my context from reading the books to that scene to clarify the murkiness. And I think it’s even more murky given it coming 15 minutes before Ron faces off with the Horcrux and Voldemort using Ron’s jealously as a weapon against him.

   That said, I’m really picking nits here as I absolutely loved the hell out of the movie.

   More movie stuff. Rented Kick Ass this weekend. Loved it even more than I anticipated. So smart and non-formulaic (in many ways) and fun and satisfying. Could not have enjoyed it more.

    Haha…at first I thought you were saying Hisssss and forgot the extra ‘s’. Steve, I see your point. I guess I’m not capable of watching a movie without thinking of the book it portrays. I’m all inclusive when it comes to knowledge I’ve absorbed. Anywho, anybody get any good Black Friday deals?

    I still think the Braves should have made him an offer.

    Saw Megamind today with the oldest. In an obvious and hackneyed critique, I will put it simply as Meh-gamind.

    Stumbled onto this five year old article on greatest rotations. 90′s Braves make the top 5 twice, including #1 from their 1998 staff: just look at those sick numbers from FIVE pitchers. Unreal. All five starters in the top 10 in wins. That is ridiculous.

    I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – 1998 was the best team the Braves had, and no one really talks about THAT collapse.

    Curt, there’s no such thing as a collapse in which you lose 4 games out of 6. That’s just baseball. Add to that, before losing a tight Padres series, hey swept the Cubs, so their post season record that year was 5-4. Even a 106 win team goes through 5-4 stretches a dozen times a year, not to mention a few worse ones.

    Curt – How did you not like Megamind?!?!? I thought it was very funny and had a lot of heart. You are a monster.

    Curt Says:
    November 29th, 2010 at 7:16 pm

    Tight Padres series? You were down 3-0. Whatever terminology you want to use, the fact that the 98 team did not accomplish more with what they had is disgraceful. (See Braves postseasons).

    Steve, because I saw Despicable Me. It’s the Truman Show to Megamind’s Ed

    Well, they out-hit the Fathers in two of those first three losses. The errors, which I don’t even remember, are pretty disgraceful. We out-booted them 6 to ZERO in those three losses.

    The more things change…
